536

#536, 1c Gray green offset, an eye-arresting jumbo-margined mint example, boasting enormous margins all around and being wonderfully well centered amid these huge boarders, a feature that is exceptionally rare on this particular value as this experimental perforation was so poor that half of the production was destroyed because of inferior centering, brilliantly fresh with deep color and sharp impression, o.g., n.h., extremely fine jumbo; 2006 PSE certificate (XF 90 Jumbo; SMQ $145.00 for 90 and $480.00 for 95).
